Re: Air Conditioning on Type XXI's ?

The one book in my library on the Typ XXI seems to suggest air conditioning, but doesn't actually say it was there. For a boat designed to stay submerged most of the time A/C would have been almost mandatory, just to take care of the extreme humidity you'd get from the crew breathing and condensation. A/C in submarines was never really for crew comfort, it was mostly to dry out the air and protect the electronics and machinery. The fact that it also made the crew more comfortable was mostly a happy side effect.
